Can Third-Party Apps Recover Deleted WeChat Chat History?

Third-party apps, such as dr.fone and EaseUS MobiSaver, claim to be able to recover deleted WeChat chat history. However, we do not recommend using these apps.

Firstly, these apps may not be credible and could be scams that steal your personal information. Secondly, using these apps could be illegal, as they may violate WeChat's terms of service and privacy policy. Lastly, even if these apps do work, there is no guarantee that your deleted chat history will be recovered.

In conclusion, the best way to ensure that you don't lose your WeChat chat history is to back it up regularly and transfer it to your new phone using the official methods we have outlined in this article.
